Worldliness

“But I find by sad experience that such a spirit of sloth and slumber possesses the unsanctified that, though they are convinced that they are yet unconverted, often they carelessly sit still. Through the love of sensual pleasure—or the hurry of worldly business—or the noise and clamor of earthly cares and lusts and affections—the voice of conscience is drowned, and men go no farther than some faint wishes and general purposes of repenting and amending. ~ A Sure Guide to Heaven by Joseph Alleine”

“Where one thousand are destroyed by the world's frowns, ten thousand are destroyed by the world's smiles.”

“The world, siren-like, sings to us, then sinks us.”

“Men must not think to dance and dine with the devil, and then to sup with Abraham in heaven.”
